In this episode I discuss the importance of "food first" in eating disorder recovery; what it is, how to implement and my own experience with this approach. I also answer a listener question about mental hunger when physically full.

In this episode I explain blood samples and interpreting lab results in people with eating disorders/in recovery.

I also answer a listener question about whether or not my exercise advices apply to athletes.
